  1. Radiation & ultraviolet light & H3 bubblers can be used to treat water before movement… all driven by renewables.

  2.  @christhebuilder3752  - “good luck with that… clogged” they figured out the problem with much larger flows… with dams, hydroelectric, pipes as tall as I am conducting larger flows to cities, etc. they do this all day long. Since we are talking a process to sell water to another locality, a profit center can pay to have someone maintain it.

  3. I am glad to see this conversation continuing. For years, I had been suggesting moving overflow from the Mississippi to the West. It really can also be used in the South East. The question about storms and water predictions is really unnecessary, to start. Infrastructure is needed to start. AI is not really needed, each water storage area could just make a desire to purchase, just as neighboring electrical grids publish a desire to purchase electricity… the software already exists. People in charge of other water sheds already do emergency discharges, they could then allow the water to be sold. It is wise to use pipeline & electrical rightaways, for pipelines, to avoid bickering by the crazies & whackos, who merely want to stop progress, for the sake of stopping progress. Oil is not going away due to a shift to more electricity, the either-or is a false dichotomy, a logical fallacy, and reduces the likelihood that this good idea will be disregarded as hubris. Oil will always be needed, for things like clothing, asphalt, plastics, vinyl, roofing shingles, paint, wire insulation, plastics, etc. These other areas have not even has serious consideration. If we truly care about water, only adding pipelines to existing right of ways will bring unity, without objections, except from anti-progressive movements. Energy Pipelines will also be needed to conduct hydrogen, ammonia, synthetic fuels (taken from CO2 combining with H2.) Canada is also well poised to be a supplier to the US, for these things, as well as water, so any pipeline right of ways from Keystone XL should be welcomed. As more western land becomes terraformed, energy needs will increase. Taking away from existing & future energy needs & eliminating existing infrastructure is foolish & not forward thinking enough into the future. If The West wants water, they can fund it through purchases, investors can put up the money through corporate bonds, and the industry can small, with a few pipelines… and expand as investors see stability in the investment. Honestly the issue is whether the regulatory infrastructure can facilitate saving The West and terraforming large segments of the continent. Some two headed lizard or three headed frog will miraculously show up in order to stop progress in The West. With current state of permits being revoked at any time, with the election of a president, long term investment in US projects is really now at risk. There needs to be guarantees, in the law, that puts controls on the executive branches, to bring stability to infrastructure investments, since another President could just come along an kill it.

  4.  @christhebuilder3752  - electrify a filtration area to stun the carp so the can be filtered out without too much difficulty… they do this to keep Asian carp out of the Great Lakes

  5.  @christhebuilder3752  - “100s of thousands of gallons” is all to be done through a tube, much smaller than a channel. Electrify a channel, dump water at the top of the electrified channel, water moved downstream the electrified channel, a smaller pipe pumps water out upstream. As long as the water flowing downstream back to the source, is greater than the amount of water being piped from the upstream, it will work the same way.

  6.  @jonathangehman4005  - indeed; not without challenges; but I can’t think of a better use for spare water when so much of The West is suffering now

  7.  @alexistaylor969  - “it barely works at the Chicago River” But, it does. Multiple electrification areas, so one can be taken down for maintenance.

  8.  @Jackadoor  - the Mississippi always floods… that flood water can be moved

  9.  @fayebird1808  - time to turn all available Asian Carp into animal food & call it a day.
